Global Board of Medical Experts:

Methodology:

Scores are only comparable between hospitals in the same country

… The countries were mainly selected based on standard of living/life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals and data availability.

The lists are based on three data sources: • Recommendations from medical experts (doctors, hospitals managers, health care professionals) • Results from patient surveys • Medical KPIs on hospitals • The number of hospitals awarded in each country varies based on the number of hospitals and data availability in the respective country… • Every hospital in each country is rated by a score.

A methodology overview and an extended methodology are listed here.
